Abstract

A buried installation body for a sanitary fitting having a housing with a receiving space for a functional unit, wherein the housing has a lower shell and an upper shell which are connectable to each other, and a connection body having at least a first connection for a supply line and at least a second connection for a discharge line, wherein the connection body is at least partially arranged in the receiving space of the housing, and wherein the connection body is fastened by the connection of the lower shell with the upper shell in the receiving space.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A flush-mounted body for a sanitary fitting, the body comprising:
a housing with a receiving space for a functional unit, the housing comprising a lower shell and an upper shell that are connectable to each other; and
a connection body with at least one first connection for a supply line and at least one second connection for a discharge line, the connection body being at least partially disposed in the receiving space of the housing, the connection body being adapted to be fastened in the receiving space due to the connection between the lower shell and the upper shell,
wherein the at least one first connection and the at least one second connection are provided on a circumferential surface of the connection body,
wherein the at least one first connection includes a cold water connection and a hot water connection,
wherein the at least one second connection includes a first mixed water connection, a second mixed water connection and a third mixed water connection,
wherein the connection body has a longitudinal axis, a first connection axis orthogonally oriented to the longitudinal axis and a second connection axis orthogonally oriented to the longitudinal axis and the first connection axis,
wherein the cold water connection, the hot water connection and the first mixed water connection open into the connection body in parallel with the first connection axis, and wherein the second mixed water connection and the third mixed water connection open into the connecting body in parallel with the second connection axis, and
wherein the first mixed water connection is disposed on a side of the connection body opposite the cold water connection and the hot water connection and wherein the second mixed water connection is arranged on a side of the connection body opposite the third mixed water connection.

2. The flush-mounted body according to claim 1 , wherein the connection body is positively fastened in the receiving space via the lower shell and the upper shell.

3. The flush-mounted body according to claim 1 , wherein the lower shell has a first circumferential groove, which adjoins a first end face of the connection body.

4. The flush-mounted body according to claim 3 , wherein in the first circumferential groove, a first seal is arranged, which seals the receiving space from an environment.

5. The flush-mounted body according to claim 3 , wherein the upper shell has a second circumferential groove, which adjoins a second end face of the connection body.

6. The flush-mounted body according to claim 5 , wherein, in the second circumferential groove, a second seal is arranged, which seals the receiving space against an environment.

7. The flush-mounted body according to claim 1 , wherein the connection body is formed annular.

8. The flush-mounted body according to claim 1 , wherein the cold water connection and the hot water connection are provided on a same side of the connection body.
